barok 0 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 okay, i`ll prolly get some harsh feedback, but who cares, this is just my whiny complaint for the day. what the hell is with the whack ass bee-boppin` style that seemingly every Hakuba loc rider seems to take on - all this - nosepress to spin 180 hop 180 back, tailslide, carve 360 - just prancin` all the way down the mountain. it looks more like hopscotch than snowboarding - sssoooooo laaaaame.

damian 0 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 isn't that stuff called "buttering"? Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Be happy they're doing that instead of scoring all the good powder Barok. BTW check out the guys who wait around for the pipe to open when there's freshies to be had, it's hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Yeah, some of them are pretty damn good. They`re just warming themselves up for the real season(when a real board park opens). Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 If I could do that, I would! In fact, starting with learning fakie, that's what I'm aiming at - big gaijin lollygaggin' his way down the slopes, occasionally disappearing into the trees for some straightforward luffing.

Dokumanju 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 i think it's got sumthing to do with most japanese boarders skate in the off season. i don't think doing a manual on a skateboard is too much different from doing a nose press on a snowboard. Ever seen a forum movie or a marc frank montoya video part ? i'm sure the hip hop crew have and that's what they're aiming for. actually i kinda like those butter spins - it feels kinda nice to carve up the hill and the use the pop in your board to spring u out in the other direction.

barok 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Author Share Posted November 29, 2002 don`t get me all wrong - I like spins, freestyle, rails, butters, skateboarding and riding fakie. i don`t just ride lines, I love freestyle I just think it looks stupid when that`s all yer doing - all these guys yesterday trying to do the same crap in powder, because that`s all they do, just prancing down the hill skipping along like a fairy princess, lah di dah - I think that that style has a time and place, and yeah it`s in the snowboard park, on a flat hill it just looks dumb, and on every turn So yeah just my whiny complaint, whatever.

Ocean11 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Saw some more of them vikings out on the hill yesterday. They get down on one knee for every turn. Talk about whack-ass bee-bop style... Link to post Share on other sites
